Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to success. Here’s what you’ll need for your High Protein White Bean Soup:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) of white beans (cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
These ingredients are not only nutritious but also easy to find. I love that most of them are pantry staples, making this a convenient recipe for busy weeks!
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add diced onion and carrot, sauté until onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).

Notes
- Feel free to substitute kale with spinach or vice versa.
